Description: The Continental Philosophy Reader is the first comprehensive anthology of classic writings from the major figures in European thought. Divided into three sections - From Phenomenology to Hermeneutics, From Marxism to Critical Theory and From Structuralism to Deconstruction - it features the key thinkers of those movements with their most widely read and representative writings.

Each selection is introduced and placed in its historical and philosophical context by the editors. There is also a helpful chronology relating the European philosophical tradition to other areas of twentieth-century thought and culture. Ideal for introductory courses in Continental philosophy and contemporary European thought, The Continental Philosophy Reader provides a comprehensive introduction to some of our century's most influential and controversial intellectual movements.
